Too many. It is difficult to say because persons, when they get on drugs, tend to associate with other users and sellers. These persons usually gravitate to the lower income neighborhoods, where the police don't bother them very often. Also they frequent 'crack houses', and sometimes die there, sickly and emaciated. If their bodies are dumped in a field or in a dumpster with no Identification, how can those ones be counted?

If you are asking what the significance of the study of addiction I can answer you there. There are many, many reasons that people study the nature of drug and alcohol addiction. Probably the main reason that people study addiction is because it has touched them somehow. Usually they have been affected by it personally or even a close family member or friend. Or other times it might just be someone that has a desire to learn about addiction. I have heard that it takes a very special person to even want to become a addiction counselor or work in the field of addiction studies. It takes someone with a lot of heart and compassion. Substance abuse is a very serious problem in the world today. Studying addiction can help people learn ways to try to better society as a whole. It can be a very interesting subject, and is usually Psychology based.
